[Pkg-xen-devel] Proposal for Xen HVM example configuration
Hi, I did accidentally discover a quite useful feature in the Xen HVM configuration file. I here by suggest it to be added in the example file located at </usr/share/doc/xen-utils-common/examples/xmexample.hvm.gz>. It seems that you can configure Xen 3.1's Credit-Based CPU Scheduler by adding settings cpu_weight=128 and cpu_cap=20 in the configuration file itself. Though I haven't located any references to this feature from Xen's documentation or anywhere at the internet. More information about the Xen Credit Scheduler at <http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/CreditScheduler>. PS: I discovered this when I was testing `xm list --long' and there was cpu_weight and cpu_cap settings. -- Jaakko Heusala Sendanor Email: jheusala at sendanor.fi GSM: +358 40 7099704 Fax: +358 8 5555477 WWW: http://www.sendanor.fi/
